So I’ve been getting into wines a bit more. Been a beer drinker for awhile, never been a heavy drinker but I like a good buzz.
I’m in my 20s and my parents have always been wine drinkers for the most part, and they prefer dry wines on any given occasion, they aren’t a huge fan of sweet wines.
I have tried some of the wines they like, and they seem bitter-tasting to me. I have no problem drinking Moscato but it is pretty sweet and not great for everyday. My mother had me try a bottle of white Merlot last week, and it still seemed bitter. Today I had a bottle of Oak Leaf Farms Red Blend, and it wasn’t bad at all. Not bitter and not too sweet. I would describe it as more semi-sweet and was very enjoyable.
I’m familiar with names of wines but I haven’t tried everything. Looking for recommendations on good starter wines, the Oak Leaf Farms bottle was something I’d buy again. I also understand that I might not ever like most dry wines just based on my palette, I have family members who are like that well into their later years.
My apologies for being a total noob… any advice/recommendations appreciated.
